MAGAZINE-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Iatent No. 228,401, dated June 1,1880.

Application filed March 5, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CARLTON SEAVER, of Traer,in the county of,Tama and State of Iowa, have invented a new andImproved Stove, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to construct a stove so that the smokeand other products of combustion shall pass downward through the bottomthereof into a pipe that leads under the floor of the room in which thestove is placed and into the chimney, while the heat and light of thefire shall warm and light the room in which the stove is.

The invention consists of a stove provided with one or several pipesextending perpendicularly downward from above the fire-surface into thebase of the stove between the grate and the shell or cylinder of thestove; and it consists, further, in a base provided with verticalpartitions and with a damper for directing the course of the smoke andthe products of combustion to the flue that projects downward from thecenter of said base and it consists, further, of another flue thatconnects with the one leading from the base of the stove and passeshorizontally under the floor of the room, through a surrounding pipethat is laid in cement or other non-conducting material, into thechimney and, further, in registers opening from this surrounding pipeinto the room and, further, in making that section of the stove j ustabove the fire-surface of annealed glass.

Figure l is a vertical sectional elevation of the stove and connections.Fig. 2 is a transverse section on line 20 to, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is atransverse section on line y y, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is avertical sectionalelevation on linez z, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

1n the drawings, A represents the stove, con sisting of the uppermetallic cylinder, B, supporting the-magazine G, that passes centrallydown into the fire-chamber D, which fire-chamher D is preferablyconstructed of thick annealed glass, as shown, by means of which thelight of the stove-fire shall be difi'used about the room.

E is the central section of the stove, containingthe fire-pot F, andprovidedwith hinged doors a a, for convenience in arranging the fire inthe said fire-pot F.

G is the ash-pit section of the stove, provided with a suitable door,I), as shown.

H is the base of the stove, said base H being formed by the bottom ofthe ash-pit G and a lower plate, I, which are united at theircircumferences by a ring, K. ()n the upper face of this plate I, andaround its central opening,

0, is fixed a ring, L, provided with perforations cl (Z, said ring Lbeing set on its edge and eX- tending up to the bottom plate of theash-pit G. The vertical diaphragms ff are secured to the face of thisplate I in such a manner as to form short direct channels or lines g gand irregular extended channels or flues h h from the periphery of saidplate I to the openings or perforations d cl of the ring L. Set withinthis permanent ring L, and provided with perforations 7t 70,corresponding with those of said ring, is a movable annular damper, M,that is actuated by means of the rod N, and can be moved to close orpartly close and open or partly open the openings or perforations d d.

O O are the pipes or tubes that extend perpendicularly downward fromabove the firesurface into the base H of the stove between the fire-potand ash-pit and the shell of the stove, said pipes O O terminating atthe lower face of the ash-pit bottom plate, and preferably over theshort channels 9 g.

P is a pipe or flue extending perpendicularly downward from the centralopening, 0, of the base of the stove, and this pipe P passes through theplate Q, on which the stove A rests, and connects with the horizontalflue R, that passes under the floor S and terminates in the chimney T.Surrounding this horizontal flue R, but not in contact with it, is alarger flue, U, laid in cement or other non-conducting material, V, anddesigned to conduct the heat radiated from the flue R to the room abovethrough the registers W X, one of which registers is preferably locateddirectly beneath the stove A around the pipe P, while the other may beat any convenient place over the flue U. For the convenience of removingthe collected ashes, soot, 860., from the line B, the opening m,provided with a removable cover, a, is shown.

When a fire is kindled in the said stove A the products of combustionpass down the pipes O Q into the base H of the stove, and

thence, by the pipe P and horizontal flue B, into the chimney T, theheat given off by the pipe R escaping into the room by the registersshown. The non-conducting material V, in which the pipe-fines It U areplaced, serves to protect the surrounding wood-work from becomingheated; and with the stove pipes or flucs thus out of sight under thefloor the stove is a more agreeable object in a room than one with anunsightly stove-pipe in sight.

lVith the stove pipe arranged as herein shown the disadvantages of loosejoints, so common in pipes put up in the ordinary manner, are avoided,as well as the great inconvenience of putting them up and taking themdown; and with this arrangement the heat from the smoke-pipe isintroduced where it should properly beat the floor of the room. Thepipes conducting smoke from stove to chimney, when the stoveis placednear the chimney, may be placed upon the floor and covered with somearticle of furniture to hide it entirely from sight, if desired.

The annealed glass walls of the fire-chamber D are of great durability,and by transmitting the light of the fire into the room add much to itspleasant and cheerful appearance.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent 1. A stove constructed, substantially as hereinshown and described, with an upper metallic cylindrical section, 13,magazine 0, glass fire-chamber section D, central gratesection, E,ash-pit section Gr, base 11, pipes O 0, central pipe, P, and horizontalflue R, as set forth.

2. The combination, with the base H, provided with opening 0, of thepipe P and flue R, substantially ash erein shown and described, wherebythe products of combustion in the stove are directed beneath the floorto the chimney, as set forth.

3. The combination, with the horizontal fine It, laid beneath the floor,of the air-flue U and registers X, substantially as herein shown anddescribed, said flue U being laid in cement or other non-conductingmaterial, as set forth.

4. In combination with the pipes O O P of the stove A, the base H,provided with perfo' rated ring L, diaphragmsff, perforated annulardamper hi, and central opening, 0, substantially as herein shown, andfor the purpose described.
